    Default 50NL: Marginal double barrel

    Villain is 29/22/2 and cbets 71%. I put him on draw on flop or some dumb ass float with middle pair, since I've seen many do this against me even on a flop like this and OOP. Do you like this second barrel? What does he have here?

    NL Holdem $0.50(BB) Dracula
    SB ($19.04)
    BB ($52.19)
    UTG ($43.74)
    UTG+1 ($35.15)
    CO ($52.49)
    Hero ($59.92)

    Dealt to Hero 33

    fold, UTG+1 raises to $1.75, CO calls $1.75, Hero calls $1.75, fold, fold,

    FLOP ($6) 42A

    check, check, Hero bets $4, UTG+1 calls $4, CO folds,

    TURN ($14) 42A2

    check, Hero bets $9.33, UTG+1 calls $9.33,

    RIVER ($32.66) 42A29

    check, Hero checks

    That's pretty much the worst double barrel card ever. Another deuce on the board won't scare him. On top of that, it adds another flush draw.

    flattin ur 4bets, makin u tilt
    lol wtf. he has TT-KK or a weak ace all day and you got a bad turn double card but otherwise a good situation to barrel. betting random weird 2/3 pot amount is bad though, just bet like 12 and bet most rivers, or give up after flop. Betting small on turn and checking the river is easily the worst line.
    My bankroll is the amount of money I would spend or lose before I got a job. It is calculated by adding my net worth to whatever I can borrow.

    Why are you doubling here and giving up? he's never folding an ace here to a double. He's also never folding 34, 45 type hands on the turn.

    I either fire one barrel here and give up after flop, or triple barrel this. I really don't think this is a good spot to JUST double.

    thanks for the replies. I see I played this horribly. I didn't think he had Ax hand, maybe apart from AhXh (ty twosmeets for pointing that out). I thought he would drop his middle pair hands like TT-KK on the turn and I checked the river because I thought I could be ahead of his drawing hands. he would have cbet his strong draws tho so my thinking was bad.

    i'll keep posting my horribly played hands
